Turnkey Victorian Dairy Farm - offering a WIWO sale with options

An exceptional ‘must see’ dairy farm on approximately 440 acres! This meticulously looked after dairy property is situated in an area with reliable high rainfall of approximately 382.6mm and currently milks between 260 and 320 cows comfortably, with a greater possibility of milking higher numbers.
Currently managed and run as a family owned and operated dairy enterprise, this property has great potential for adaption to fat lamb, cattle production and much more.
Residence - You will be most impressed with the remarkable modern home situated on the property. The home consists of approximately 36 squares of living, featuring 6 bedrooms plus study, rumpus room additional to open-plan living area with a stunning kitchen. The in-ground pool and outdoor entertaining area maintain privacy with a separate driveway and established gardens.
Dairy - The 1995 Bonlac 44-stand platform was upgraded in 2013 to include a full MILFOS plant, including ACR's, retention arms, pulsation and milk metering system, including litres, fat, protein, lactose temperature and conductivity. This incredible setup also includes a teat wand and auto draft. The dairy also includes an office block containing a kitchenette, shower and toilet. This is where the Bluetooth infrared milking system’s fully computerised Jantec database is stored. The Jantec software allows for total herd management and auto feed. Since the installation, the factory cell count is measured in two digits. Also housed in the office is the auto irrigation system. Both the Jantec and irrigation systems are hardwired to the house office, are stand-alone and internet free. The dairy yard is fully sprinklered, grooved concreted yard with a feed system that features two feed heads, crushed grain and Profeed, 1x Bamawm roller mill, 100tonne grain capacity, 1 x 15tonne milled grain silo, 1 x 25tonne Promix silo and 1 x 8tonne Lead Feed silo.
Paddocks and water - Excellent farm layout with wide well-formed laneways providing access to all the well-fenced paddocks. 80% of the farm is under auto irrigation with 1 x recycle pump and 1 x lift pump. A 490ML licenced bore with an early season output of 14ML per day, then drops back to 11·5ML mid-summer. The 3ML delivery share coupled to the backbone channel running up the western boundary of the property supplements irrigation. Wastewater is delivered to farm at 11-13ML per day dependent on other users. This allocation equates to 250ML per annum, which is only likely to increase due to the growth of Echuca and Rochester townships. The soil health of the farm has been of major importance to the owners and in fact they have employed an extremely respected agronomist. As a result, this is reflected in the increase of the annual fodder and milking production.
Comprehensive shedding – recently completed deep straw compost loafing barn (350 cow capacity), hard stand area with commodity bunkers, hay shed, machinery shed with three-phase power, two calf sheds and separate paddocks.
